Magic Blanket

I started this  blanket a few months ago and put it down and got caught up doing other style blankets for Project Linus. I call this the “Magic Blanket” because I wasn’t happy with the colors, until I added the orange and magically I got the pop I was looking for. 50×50 .This is a solid granny square, you can find the free pattern, with excellent instructions at Fiber Flux .

Chunky Blanket

This is my latest blanket for Project Linus . This is a nice thick  corner to corner  blanket, using 2 strands of 4 ply worsted weight yarn, so “Chunky” is a great name for this cozy blanket. 42×42
